Ejemplo mde un Ensayo Abina y el Hombre Importante

...

is bad about the book?

We do not know if the story is true. In the first place, the author explains what difficulties the historian finds in reconstructing history of Abina that its reference is only made by this judicial transcript. At a second level of analysis, Getz asks how to deconstruct the transcript of what happened at court. What facts handled the judge? What facts reflected the speech of Abina? In a last level of analysis, the historian wonders how to reconstruct the “Truths” of Abina without constructing a different truth, which more reflects the vision of the author’s world and the graphic artist.

Why was this book assigned as a reading?

It was assigned to show us another point of view of what we are learning in class. For us, it is interesting to learn more about how slaves were treated, their behavior, their work and lives, and I think it is much better when you team it by reading a comic with good content and art. Also, this book shows us a good story, in which we can introduce ourselves in the story and feet part of it.

What can we learn about this person’s story?

As I said before, we can learn about another point of view. We are used to read books that have been always written by rich people that knew how to read and write.

To conclude, we must ask ourselves if Abina and The Important Men meet its ambitious and innovative goals: to be an attractive graphic history that represents the most faithfully possible a real fact, a didactic proposal for the teaching of the office of the historian, and a work of original historical analysis on a little known colonial source. Graphic history pretends, like any micro-historical project, to be a faithful "reconstruction of what has been lived".
